A historic area in the City of London, Farringdon is home to St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Charterhouse Square, the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great and Smithfield Meat Market. The wholesale market gets going in the middle of the night and by early morning, workers are clocking off, leading to nearby pubs having some of the longest licensing hours in the city. The area also has several well-known nightclubs that keep going until the early hours. The recent Crossrail project made a gruesome discovery in the area, a plague pit from the Black Death dating to the 14th century.
